Contact Centre Advisor

AI overview

Support customers by resolving issues and providing excellent service across multiple contact channels while working in a dynamic and fast-paced environment.

We put people first. It’s all about you.

We're excited to find great people for our Energy Customer Service Advisor roles. 

  • You'll have previous contact centre experience
  • Energy contact experience is desirable but not required

Our CSAs are front-line heroes but this role isn't for everyone… take a moment to consider the following before you hit “apply”:

  • Are you comfortable handling challenging, tough and emotive calls, where there is a lot to learn and things are always changing?
  • Are you a problem solver, who enjoys helping customers with their questions and concerns?
  • Can you remain calm under pressure and thrive in a fast-paced environment?
  • Are you motivated by meeting goals and targets and can you demonstrate responsibility, integrity, and efficiency?
  • Can you demonstrate patience, empathy, and possess emotional intelligence?

If you answered "yes" to these questions, then you're just the kind of person we're looking for! 

We work together. Your team and the people you will work with…

This isn’t a role for the faint-hearted. No two customers, problems, or resolution journeys are the same and it’s our job to ensure that whatever the issue, our customers receive the award-winning customer service which UW is known for.

We deliver progress. What to expect through the day as an Advisor:

  • You’ll be the first point of contact for our Energy customers across our multiple contact channels (mainly phone, but may also include email and live chat)
  • You’ll be looking to resolve customer issues there and then - first call resolution is one of the key focuses of our team
  • You’ll be troubleshooting everything from the service entry point (phone socket) up to and including some device support (for more info visit the troubleshooting section of our website or click here)
  • You’ll offer new or additional services where appropriate.
  • You’ll be helping customers with their bills and taking payments 
  • You'll work towards KPIs such as:
  • First Call Resolution
    • Customer Ease Score
    • Average Handling Time
    • Quality & Compliance 

What you’ll need 

We will supply the equipment needed for you to do the role but you will still need a stable and strong internet connection. Our minimum requirement for internet speed is 25Mbps Download and 4Mbps Upload.

A dedicated, quiet work space with a work station, plenty of natural light, access to fresh air and no distractions. This cannot be a communal or space that is shared by other household members

Don’t forget though, you’ll need to be currently residing in the UK with eligibility to live and work in the UK too.
